Currently, direct copies of drm_file->master pointers should be protected by drm_device.master_mutex when being dereferenced. This is because drm_file->master is not invariant for the lifetime of drm_file. If drm_file is not the creator of master, then drm_file->is_master is false, and a call to drm_setmaster_ioctl will invoke drm_new_set_master, which then allocates a new master for drm_file and puts the old master.

Thus, without holding drm_device.master_mutex, the old value of drm_file->master could be freed while it is being used by another concurrent process.

In drm_lease.c, there are multiple instances where drm_file->master is accessed and dereferenced while drm_device.master_mutex is not held. This makes drm_lease.c vulnerable to use-after-free bugs.

We address this issue in 3 ways:

1. Clarify in the kerneldoc that drm_file->master is protected by

drm_device.master_mutex.

2. Add a new drm_file_get_master() function that calls drm_master_get

on drm_file->master while holding on to drm_device.master_mutex. Since drm_master_get increments the reference count of master, this prevents master from being freed until we unreference it with drm_master_put.

3. In each case where drm_file->master is directly accessed and

eventually dereferenced in drm_lease.c, we wrap the access in a call to the new drm_file_get_master function, then unreference the master pointer once we are done using it.

I found this a bit confusing, since I generally don't think of dereferencing the pointer as "taking a copy". That's more for the entire datastructure when you have a memcpy() call, or kmemdup() or something like that. Also "it is recommended" is a bit weak if you get a use-after-free if you dont :-)

So instead "When dererencing this pointer either hold ... or use drm_file_get_master() ...."

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll clarify the kerneldoc accordingly.

Regarding the results from intel-gfx-ci, it seems that the patch is inverting the lock hierarchy for &dev->master_mutex --> &dev->mode_config.idr_mutex

Currently the dmesg warnings share a common call trace: drm_file_get_master+0x1b/0x70 _drm_lease_held+0x21/0x70 __drm_mode_object_find+0xd1/0xe0

Looking at the functions that lock &dev->mode_config.idr_mutex, this should be the only instance of this lock order inversion.

I'm thinking the call to _drm_lease_held can be moved outside of the &dev->mode_config.idr_mutex lock in __drm_mode_object. Any thoughts?

I found this a bit confusing, since I generally don't think of dereferencing the pointer as "taking a copy". That's more for the entire datastructure when you have a memcpy() call, or kmemdup() or something like that. Also "it is recommended" is a bit weak if you get a use-after-free if you dont :-)

So instead "When dererencing this pointer either hold ... or use drm_file_get_master() ...."

Cheers, Daniel

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll clarify the kerneldoc accordingly.

Regarding the results from intel-gfx-ci, it seems that the patch is inverting the lock hierarchy for &dev->master_mutex --> &dev->mode_config.idr_mutex

Currently the dmesg warnings share a common call trace: drm_file_get_master+0x1b/0x70 _drm_lease_held+0x21/0x70 __drm_mode_object_find+0xd1/0xe0

Looking at the functions that lock &dev->mode_config.idr_mutex, this should be the only instance of this lock order inversion.

I'm thinking the call to _drm_lease_held can be moved outside of the &dev->mode_config.idr_mutex lock in __drm_mode_object. Any thoughts?

Uh very annoying. One of the callers of this is the atomic ioctl, where we're calling this while holding drm_modeset_lock. The nesting hierarchy is, from outermost lock to innermost: dev->master_mutex -> dev->mode_config.mutex -> drm_modeset_lock. So I think we'll again have an inversion, just moved it a bit :-(

But I'm also not 100% sure, so maybe type it up and see what happens? Otherwise I think we need to figure out a solution for how we can check leases without having to take the dev->master_mutex that serializes a lot more things ... I think the fundamental problem we have here is that dev->master_mutex serves 2 purposes: a) protecting the pointers and just data consistency and b) synchronizing against concurrent master changes where we think that's required. It's the latter (through the fbdev emulation code) that causes all the inversion problems, a) it's could easily nest very deeply in other locks.

Ah I see, that sounds thorny. Just from inspecting the code I can't find the inversion, so I'll write up the v6 series for testing first.

Irrespective of all this I think this change here makes sense since in untangels the master stuff from the lookup idr, and that's always good. Maybe do this hunk as a separate patch, and I'll apply that as prep work? -Daniel

Sounds good to me, I'll add the new patch to the series.

Let's add a "ret = true; goto unlock;" here, so we can have a single drm_master_put() in the function. Nearly all code paths touched by this patch already follow this approach.
